Booktrailer Festival was successfully held in 2016 for the first time in the country.

The festival is held with the assistance of the Ministry of Culture of Azerbaijan, the International Mugham Center, Azerbaijanfilm Studio and Azercell Telekom. The project is headed by film actor Ruslan Sabirli.

The first place will get a prize in the amount of 1,000 manats ($ 589), while the winners of the second and third places 800 manats  ($ 471) and 500 ($ 298) manats, respectively.
